Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module while
Installing Red Hat Linux on a New Unit
Note:
If Red Hat Linux is already installed and bootable on another drive, turn to
"Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module on a Red Hat or Fedora Core Linux
System that Boots From a Different Device" on page 314.
Note:
We have tested some older systems where a drive connected to the
motherboard interfered with using a drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID
controller as a boot device. Disconnecting the drive while installing Linux will
eliminate this problem. After Linux is installed, the drive can be reconnected.
